Over the last year, I've been deep-diving into every team at the 2023 Rugby World Cup to create a huge, definitive, preview. All 20 of our videos, nation by nation, are (Or shall be) in this thread below-
A game I like to play watching live is “oh will this play make it into this weeks @SquidgeRugby video” and it’s like a wee treat of if I get it correct (outside of try’s which are cheating of course). Nailed two this week thanks to the exceleltn work of Genge and Curry!
The Lions took control of the series on Saturday as they survived an Aussie fightback- We dig into the smart defensive tactics that took the Lions clear, and the elements that suggest Australia may have more in them for test two and beyond... youtu.be/b9khgz1f8nQ?si…
The Lions are the best of the best. But who are the best of the best of the best? In the first of a new ongoing series, we try to nail down the four legends who shine above all overs and deserve a permanent spot on a British & Irish Lions Mt Rushmore... youtu.be/8bEeRG5JWYY?si…
Hey here’s a video I hope you enjoy it very please

The Lions secured their final tour match win this week as they overcame a spirited First Nations-Pacifika XV. So how did Andy Farrell's gang come through, which players stood up, and is there anything we learnt from this final midweek match? youtu.be/F9_Xsh2bLig?si…
After months of silence, Wales finally have a new men's Head Coach. Scotland assistant & former Osprey Steve Tandy is inbound, and to mark his arrival two leading experts in Tandyology dissected his career to date to see what he might bring to Wales... youtu.be/fhzsCwueSpA
Every single day right now there’s a new vague rumour about what’s happening in Welsh rugby with no certainty in sight, and the WRU expects us to go on with this existential dread until October.
Met a man in a bar tonight. Told me a story, and I'm not one for stories. But I wouldn't be buying an Os ST next year......#deadmenwalking
With no Jac Morgan, for the first time since the club's inception, there is no Ospreys player in the Lions 23 for a test match. Thus ending the only club with a 100% selection rate in Lions history.
A very rare negative video. An ugly game, not enjoyed even by many passionate Irish fans, and even less so by Portugal. We (quite avid lovers of Portuguese rugby) had a chat about some of the issues that may have caused this unfortunate mess:
Ireland absolutely battered Portugal. An all-timer thrashing. We dissect the impact of this game, whether Ireland learnt anything, and just what it might mean for Portuguese rugby... youtu.be/kJKUIa_1jhA?si…
A game twelve years in the making. The first test between the British & Irish Lions and Australia is just days away, and to mark the biggest game of the year so far we dive into both team's tactics, how they play, and just how it will be won... youtu.be/JixfZTPCPHE

A historic day in Suva! A brilliant, open Fiji team tore open Scotland for a famous win on Saturday in maybe the game of the weekend. We dig into how, why, and Wainaqolo it all happened... youtu.be/DvRcT04w_cg?si…
After 644 days, it happened. Wales, finally, won a rugby match. So, how did Cymru pull through against Japan, what does this mean for the team going forward, and just how big a relief must this be for Dewi Lake and his team? youtu.be/02VO5J6q0u4
"So how did Wales finally win a game" will be with you all imminently
It’s crunch time! Can’t believe these guys didn’t pick Jhonny Wilkistonnbe clear anti english bias
Just two days until the most-speculated upon teamsheet of the last four years. Andy Farrell is about to name his British & Irish Lions test team, and we dug into who the likely candidates are, and who he might pick... youtu.be/qSWRseZZDuM

Out with the pessimism. We're winning the whole f'ing thing.
EPCR @ChallengeCup_ fixture announcement 🏉 Our 25/26 European fixtures are here! We'll take on Connacht Rugby and Montpellier Hérault at home, and US Montauban and Zebre Parma away. Which game are you most looking forward to? #TogetherAsOne
You know, I really thought they'd wait until at least Wednesday before making this public
The WRU, somewhere: This Dan Edwards seems pretty good. Let's cut his club, deny the opportunity for players like him to get the time in the saddle to develop in future, and to reward him by not making that decision for six months so he can truly celebrate with some uncertainty
As the Springboks smashed Italy, Rassie Erasmus rolled out two brand new, crazy, innovative plays. We dig into these moves, their history, whether World Rugby could ever have them banned, and if we might see them again down the line... youtu.be/wUHDgqg0sP8
